Abstract
An electric power generating system in which solid material is caused to flow by gravity from an upper level to a lower level onto a wheel or a series of wheels which are caused to rotate by the weight of the material on blades spaced along the periphery of the wheels. The wheels are interconnectable and in a system which drives electrical generators to produce power.
